I think we need to see a few more IHC calls based on what the Handbook calls IHC and not technical BS like the shoulder got there a hair sooner so it is not IHC.. The kid lowered his head and delivered a hit with his helmet in all of the clips I posted. I get laughed at when I say something about what you hear, but the sound of a helmet hitting someone has a distinct sound. What happens after the hit does matter because if a kid gets up staggering he probably hit with his head.


The committee recognizes that occasionally a player’s helmet makes inadvertent
contact with an opponent without significant risk of injury to either player.
The committee also recognizes that there are degrees of severity in illegal helmet
contact, and that all types of such contact should be penalized uniformly.

Do you really think any of the ones I posted were inadvertent helmet contact?
